Meaning & History

Derived from the Gaelic word #caileag# meaning "girl", or possibly from the related word #cailleach# meaning "old woman", which is also the name of a Scottish and Irish mythological figure (see BEIRA) and comes from Old Irish #caillech# "veiled (one)", from #caille# "veil", an early loanword from Latin #pallium# "a cloak" (i.e., the ecclesiastical garment worn by nuns).
